Introduction to Theory of 3D Scanning DIG020AS2AE-3003 13.01.2025-16.05.2025 1 (NONSTOP, ...)+-
Learning objectives
After this course, the student knows the basic technologies of 3D scanning ands understands how they can be used to convert real world objects into their digital twins. He/she understands the basic similarities and differences of the technologies and can pick a useful technique for a given scanning task
Contents
The course will touch on the following subjects:
Laser Triangulation Scanning: how lasers are used to measure the distance to a surface by triangulating the reflected light.
Structured Light Scanning: how patterns of light are projected onto a surface, and the deformed patterns are analyzed to reconstruct the 3D shape.
Time-of-Flight (ToF) Scanning: how ToF cameras measure the time it takes for light to travel from the source to the object and back to determine distance.
Photogrammetry: the principles of photogrammetry, where multiple images of an object are analyzed to triangulate and reconstruct its 3D structure.
Structured Light Scanning: how patterns of light are projected onto a surface, and the deformed patterns are analyzed to reconstruct the 3D shape.
3D Scanning Software: Overview of software used for 3D data processing and reconstruction. This will include both open-source and commercial solutions.
